Talib Kweli Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
His first name, Talib (), in Arabic means “pupil” or “seeker”; his middle name in Swahili means “accurate”. Kweli earned recognition through his work in Black Star, a cooperation with fellow MC Mos Def. In 2011, Kweli was featured on the soundtrack for the movie You Got Served: Beat the World together with the tune, “Infinite Love.” Kweli’s latest and fifth record, Prisoner of Conscious, a name derived from Talib’s continuous labeling as a “conscious rapper” and based on Nigerian reggae artist Majek Fashek’s record “Prisoner of Conscience.” Kweli started working on “Prisoner” before “Rainbows” was released, and set reductions which were initially meant for “Mindful” on “Rainbows”. He also affirmed that he’ll reunite with MadLib to offer Liberation 2. The choice of the tracks on this particular record were more experimental and operated towards illuminating musicality. Kweli subsequently went to release music videos for Hamster Wheel, Upper Echelon, Come Here and more. Soon after in August 2013, Kweli declared that in 2014 he’ll release his next studio album, Gravitas that may feature production from Qtip. Nevertheless, on October 5, 2013, Kweli disclosed that Gravitas will be released alone on December 15, 2013. He also revealed the cover art, and the record would feature production by Q Tip, Oh No, LordQuest, and Rich Kidd.
